Class and Student Literacy Profile
Question Description
Initially, observe the class as a whole. Focus on the literacy behaviors you see and interpret their general effect on the learning taking place in the classroom. Consider how fluency, vocabulary skills, and comprehension strategiesare emphasized in the learning process, how the differences in interacting with expository and narrative text influences understanding, whether literature is used to motivate, and whether you see evidence of
critical literacy (higher-order thinking skills) at play in the classroom.
Select one student to observe more closely. Look at the student’s written work, listen to the student specifically in discussions, talk to the student about how reading and literacy are incorporated into the student’s life, etc.
Create a class/student profile of 1,250-1,500-words that describes both the class and your selected student in terms of literacy traits.
Address the considerations listed above and interpret what you saw as it relates to the overall literacy and learning process.

You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin.
Construct a Venn diagram that illustrates the literacy skills the student demonstrated at the onset of the lessons (into), those that intersected (through), and those that remain to be mastered (beyond). The time you spend with the student should facilitate this process through an investigation of the student’s prior knowledge and literacy experiences (into), a best practice activity to stimulate literacy growth (through), and an assessment of what
future literacy goals should be set. As you work with your student, consider, on an individual level, how fluency, vocabulary skills, and comprehension skills influence learning, how the differences in interacting with expository and narrative text affects this student’s understanding, whether literature motivates this student, and whether you see evidence of critical literacy in your student’s approach to text.
